Guthrie – Newcastle Area Fantastic – I’m Settled

If there’s one thing that’s been positive about this summer’s transfer market, it’s that the players Newcastle have brought in so far are all excellent buys.

Danny Guthrie – excellent buy by Kevin in the summer

Danny Guthrie, brought in from Liverpool, probably for around ?2M, has played in every game in pre-season and in the first 3 games proper of this season, and looks made to measure to become a big future star at the club.

There were reports yesterday that Stuart Pearce is thinking about including him in the England Under-21 squad, and that would be just reward for a player who seems to produce the goods week in week out for the Magpies.

Danny said yesterday to nufvTV:

“My debut at Man United was great and we could’ve won it in the end,” “It was nice to hear the manager call me his man-of-the-match afterwards because my main target when I signed was just to be in the team for the first game.”

“It’s went really well for me but now I have to build on that and stay in the team for as long as I can.”

“I’ve loved it so far and I’ve got a house now so I’m settled and the area is fantastic.”

Newcastle now travel to Arsenal for tomorrow’s game, which has a 5:30 pm kick off time, and no doubt Kevin will have the lads ready for that game, despite all the news on James Milner leaving the club, over the last couple of days.

Danny continued:

“Our home form is massive this season,” “If you win your home games you will finish high up the table.”“It’s always a bonus to nick points from the top four but winning at home is what we need to do on a regular basis.”

Danny is great acquisition for the club and a fantastic lad, and he is happy to play at the Newcastle club managed by a former Liverpool (and Newcastle) legend Kevin Keegan.

And we mustn’t forget that the fabulous team spirit Keegan has already generated at the club, is because every single player wants to be at Newcastle and contribute to the success of Keegan’s second revolution.

So in that context, if young James Milner wants to leave for more money, it’s hard to argue why we should keep him.

But we’ll keep Guthrie, for many a season, and while he may not be top notch right now, he’s on the road to being that, sooner rather than later.

It’s great to have young lads like Danny at Newcastle. 😀 Comments welcome.

I’ve been impressed with Guthrie so far: nice tidy player, and very busy, but “seems to produce the goods week in week out”? He’s only played THREE competitive games… shouldn’t he have played at least 15 before we start making that sort of judgement?

And while I’d want to keep Milner, if we can get in the region of £10-12m for him, I think we might as well cash in… but only if we can buy some more players before monday night!

I reckon that Guthrie could be one of the reasons Milner is unhappy with his contract. He probably came in on higher wages than Milner, who’s thinking.. ‘hold on. what has he done for this club that i havn’t…’

Of course Danny’s the biz – he’s a Shrewsbury lad. And judging from his grammar, he’s not from the posh school. If he can avoid letting the success get to him he’ll be here for a long time.

I wish we knew the truth about the Milner thing – for all we know he’s been really badly treated and is right to want out. But perhaps he’s being unreasonable in his demands – who knows?

The thing we have to hold on to is that we’ve made 3 great signings – perhaps four judging by our Frenchie’s performance on Wednesday – and nobody’s seen ’em coming. More to the point, spending 11 mil on a defender shows that Ashley’s prepared to break spending records when needed.

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
